Ashleigh Mitchell is a paediatric dietitian for infants, children & adolescents. She has 15 years’ experience; 12 years spent at The Children’s Hospital Westmead and The Sydney Children’s Hospital.
As a senior paediatric dietitian, she has a broad range of skills from building confidence introducing solids & fussy eating to complex specialised diets.
As a mum of two children…
She understands the challenges of balancing busy family life, getting food on the table & meeting the ever-changing needs of kids. She knows what it is like to spend time making a meal, just for it to be called ‘yuck’ & how to respond to this. She is passionate about listening to clients & translating complex nutrition into practical strategies that meet a child and family’s needs.
As an Accredited Sports Dietitian and athlete…
Ash has performed at representative level for both gymnastics and touch football. She was a gymnastics coach in her youth, understanding the commitment it takes as a child athlete and as an adult returning to representative touch football after having two kids.
Her experience as a mum, paediatric dietitian and sports dietitian has shaped her into an understanding professional who is here for infants, children, teens and their families.
We understand that children have unique needs which change with age. We care for children and young adults in an environment which is the ‘art, science and soul’ of paediatrics in a setting where children look forward to returning.
